Better or worse? Giants’ defensive line
Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty ImagesOver the last decade, the defensive line was one of the best positional groups for the New York Giants. Arguably, they were at their strongest in 2020, but losing Dalvin Tomlinson in free agency forced a slight regression, albeit Austin Johnson was admirable in his 665 defensive snaps.
The Giants enter 2022 with their two top defensive lineman still present - Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams - but core depth pieces were replaced, so let’s analyze if the unit is better or worse now than it was in 2021.
Key losses: Austin Johnson, Danny Shelton, Raymond Johnson III
Key additions: Justin Ellis, D.J. Davidson
